* ''Cheetahmen II'', a crappy American game, has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hC3V_HDjc one stage song], and it's surprisingly [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]]. So awesome, that there are many remixes of it on the video site Nico Nico Douga. Which is a ''Japanese'' video site.
* In most major gaming regions, the Nintendo DS outsells the PSP. In the Philippines, it's the other way around, due to Sony already having a much bigger fanbase there than Nintendo due to PS1 and PS2 games, which use CDs and DVDs, respectively, being far easier to pirate than N64 cartridges or GameCube mini-discs (Never mind that Wii modding changed all that for GameCube games with its backwards compatibility), resulting in more affordable (yet pirated) copies which can easily be found and bought. The PSP is in a similar situation, except you pay real money for downloads.
** Same in Poland. No one there owns a DS, you see kids with PSPs everywhere. Same in case of the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]]: More people own them than [[Xbox 360|Xbox 360s]]. Ironically, it is easier to pirate for the 360 than the PS3. So why is the PS3 popular? A. Its games are region-free to begin with and B. Microsoft '''will''' unleash the banhammer on your 360 for piracy. And you gotta have good luck to find a Wii owner, despite it being by far the easiest (and safest) 7th-gen console to pirate for.
*** Also, there is virtually no support for Xbox Live in Poland - Microsoft promotes (hell, the menus are in Polish!) something that can't be legally used in the country, since you need a foreign e-mail account to do anything.
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' was initially considered a flop because there was almost zero interest for the game in its home territory of Japan, but did so well in the US and Europe that a sequel was made ''entirely'' because of the strong overseas sales.
